If you are tired of gray everyday life and want to plunge headlong into the world of fantasy and fairy tales, pay attention to the game Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons from the Swedish developer Starbreeze. By the way, the studio has such hits as The Chronicles of Riddick and Syndicate. However, unlike them, Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons is not a shooter, but rather a puzzle and, moreover, very unusual.

At first glance, it might seem that the game is a softer version of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. After watching the trailers, it's really no surprise to be wrong. The main characters are two brothers, Naya and Nai, who solve simple puzzles during the game, overcome chasms, pull some levers and rotate unknown mechanisms. And now the most interesting thing is that both characters are simultaneously controlled by the user himself.
If you prefer to play not on a mobile device, but on a desktop computer, use a gamepad for the full experience. One of the joystick sticks is responsible for the older brother, and the other for the younger brother. I must say, at first it is very confusing, as if you were forced to write with both your left and right hands. After a couple of hours, the brain adapts to the new perception, and then it is already difficult to do familiar things with both hands.
The story of the two brothers is very dramatic - their mother drowned during a storm, after which the younger Nai developed a fear of water, and he overcomes all water obstacles only with the help of his brother. The boys' father fell seriously ill, and in order to get the magic elixir stored at the top of the tree, the young heroes had to embark on a difficult journey.

The plot of the game resembles Scandinavian fairy tales - it's not for nothing that its developer is a Swedish studio. By the way, the titled director Josef Fars took part in the development of the plot. On the way, the brothers now and then come across empty uninhabited castles, trolls, giants, warlike peoples, all kinds of monsters and even an eccentric scientist, ready to dance on the table for the fun of the audience.
Interestingly, Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons is replete with small, not very important, but very nice details. These include, in particular, cozy benches where you can sit and soak up the sun. And it will not be out of place to warm up, because in this fairy tale the weather changes regularly.
From a visual point of view, Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons is a real masterpiece! True, the version of the game for mobile devices is somewhat depleted - shadows were removed and lighting was reduced, and as a result, the picture looks simpler and more unpretentious.
The soundtrack will also be useful. The soundtrack by Gustaf Grefberg perfectly matches the general mood of the game and creates a unique fairy-tale atmosphere.
The only downside to Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons is that the game ends too quickly, and it won't take you more than a few hours to complete it completely. It is best to play in one go to maintain the appropriate mood.
Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons for iPhone and iPad running iOS 8.0 and later can be downloaded from the App Store for 379 rubles. Among other things, the game supports the Russian language.
